and perfect matches. The queen rode

Duke of Edinburgh rode alone. This
escort, composed. as it was, entirely OF
the sons. SonS-in-law and grandSonS of
the queen, all brilliantly uniformed and
riding magnificent horses, elegantly
caprisOned, presented splendid spec
tacle and inspired enthusiasm every
where along the route. AS the carriage
bearing the queen came in sight the
cheering started UP afresh, and when
she had proceeded short distance the
cheering had become a mighty roar,
which seemed steadily to increase i'll
volume and eventually to he continuous
and mighty. The enthusiasm Of the
peoplesappeared absolutely boundieSS.
The queen was manifestly delighted.
Her face wore constant smile. She
bowed and thanked the people, and
whenever on the way she recognized
any person she fairly beamed with joy.
Over her black costume the queen
wore a white lace gown. her bonnet
was of white netting or lace, with an in

Duke of Cambridge, commander-in-
chief, rode close to the queen all along
the journey, both ways. The procession
was closed up by parties of life guards
and Indian troops. When the people
had shouted themselves hoarse. cheer
ing for the queen, they continued d to cry
out, Long life to the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales" The queen. as she left
the palace. seemed to be in excellent
spirits and she smiled and bowed gra-
ciously to the people on every side.
THE QUEENS CARRIAGE
was large one of chocolate color, the
wheels red and the royal arms in gold,
emblazoned upon the panels. .ssRGd No
rocco harness was used for the horses,
which were otherwise decorated with
royal blue ribbons. All the servants
wore state liveries Of scarlet and gold.
The other carriages. containing mem
berS of the royal family, were of Il gOrg
eouS character, horSed with four bays
each and all open. The procession pro-
ceeded at smart walking pace into Cen
StitutiOn Hill, and then adopted more
deliberate gait. Owing to the lateness
of the spring, the beautiful green OF the
avenue trees; the sweet OdorS Of the
haWthOrneS and the splendid uniforms
of the military, coupled with the EN-
lUuSldSill VI btlS CIONU, lilt OCCd-
sion one of refreshing enchantment.
The procession slowly made its way I'M
til the Wellington arch was reached,
and then the first introduction to the
London streets enSued. Emerging from
the Wellington arch, the first to greet
the queen were the cOnvaleScent pa
tientS and others at the st. George hos
pital, which was packed from basement
to roof, seats having been erected for
MANY thousands over the roof of the
hospital. On reaching Picadilly the
queen was seen to look up at the ApSley
house, and as she passed the mansions
of her intimate friends she glanced
somewhat hastily at their abodes, more
especially when passing the Duke of
Cambridge'S. Baron Rothchild'S, Bar
oness Burdette-Coutts' and John
Bright'S late apartments. 1t was not
until Deyonshire's house was reached
that the queen began to realize the
grand preparations that had been made
to greet her. Here the Marquis of
Harrington had had a spacious gallery
erected. from which many hundreds of
GAILY DRESSED LADIES
waved their handkerchiefs and cheered
the queen. Facing Devonshire house,
at the Bath hotel, another gigantic booth
had been erected. and from this point to
Westminster abbey every point of want
age had been seized by contractors to
fix seats. Shop fronts and first floors
were rented at from $40 to $50 each and
in some cases even more. The fronts ct
the Burlington arcade, the Royal Acad-
emy. the Egyptian hall, st. James Par
iSh church {where 1000 children were
seated aud sang "God Save the Queen")
and the Museum of Geology were ali
packed with human beings. On reach
ing Regent circus, where six main
streets converge, the sight was mem
orable one, the streets being all spIen-
didly decorated with flowers, flags, ever
greens. etc. Many of the imposing COM
mercial buildings along the way were
one mass Of heads. Many Of the shops
hereabouts had their fronts removed
places. The procession as viewed from
down the hill from the circus to
Pail Mall east was remarkable
sight. The shouts of the people were
heard from the top of the column as one
vast roar. Many American ladies and
gentlemen had secured seats at pala-
tial commercial establishments in Water
loo place and joined in the enthusiasm
as warmly as the English. Passing
around Pail Mall east, a large gallery
was erected over the cOllOnade of Her
Majesty's theater, while 1,5O0 chairs,
rented at from to guineaS each, were
all filled at Waterloo house in Cock
spur street. Trafalgar square was now
reached and everywhere one looked

were to be seen. The crowd here was
tremendous and completely eclipsed
any that has assembled at the greatest
political gathering of recent years. The
steps and lions of the Nelson column
were crowded with people, while the
roof and steps of St. Martins church
and the steps of the National gallery
were packed with dense mob. After
crossing Trafalgar square, where
the police had great diff
